I think as big as Ebay is, they should have an in house mediation service to deal with these matters.

I'm not positive, but I do believe that eBay has an in house mediation service. The feedback rating is very serious to a seller.

eBay also has it's own "inbox" type thing to contact sellers and for sellers to contact buyers. It's useful...if you remember to check it.

yes they do, but the first step in that mediation process is to give the respective users each others contact information, I've never had to go beyond that, my next step is always to paypal to try to recover funds
